Hi Mike,

I seem to be having the same exact issue, and I've been trying several different things, but a few things to note first of all–

If you buy "the glitch" bundle in the store, (which I ended up doing), you will be able to use the LMG but you can't remove or change any attachments as the gun is not unlocked. (Bummer.)

As for what I've tried:
-Using different LMG's. I started with the Holger-26, which didn't work. Then tried using the PKM. Same thing.
-Shooting enemies through other teammates' smoke or the enemies' smoke instead of my own. This didn't work either
-Quit and reloaded the game. No change there either.

In conclusion, I have only two guesses as to what's going on:
1. It's possible that the game IS registering our kills for the assignment, only the tally isn't showing that we've completed the matches. If this is the case, we could keep trying to see if eventually it actually does unlock

2. It could very well be bugged, however some other people seem to have unlocked it already. If nothing changes, we may want to reach out to the support team or something equivalent. If anybody has any other recommendations, then do let us know.

Best of luck to the both of us,
-Sjogren

Mike,

Apparently someone just figured it out. You and the enemy have to be in the SAME smoke cloud for the kill to count, which is pretty obnoxious, but I tested it and it works. My recommendation is to go onto the Shoot the Ship game mode, throw smoke, and just hold down the trigger. If you have the 200 round attachment for the PKM, that's probably the best weapon to use. Either way, it's going to be a very annoying grind.

Hope this helps,
-Sjogren

Really that is so stupid how an earth are you meant to do that and 15 times 3 kills in different games its going to be a nightmare to do

Great way so people won't unlock the guns and play the game with stupid hard challenges that make no sense
